Inter Milan hold a narrow advantage over Porto entering the second leg of their Champions League last-16 encounter.

Romelu Lukaku’s late goal was all that separated the sides over 90 minutes in Italy.

Porto had Otavio dismissed during the second half of that first leg but will be hopeful that their home crowd can boost them.

For visiting boss Simone Inzaghi, progress to the quarter-finals may be key with the Inter manager under significant pressure after poor recent Serie A form.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.

Team news

Otavio’s suspension necessitates at least one change for Porto manager Sergio Conceicao, who rotated his squad in the league win over Estoril Praia on Friday. Evanilson has been struggling with a thigh injury and may again miss out, but Stephen Eustaqio could yet feature despite being forced off against Estoril with a heel issue.

Inter elected to leave out goalkeeper Andre Onana at the weekend, resting their first-choice stopper with Samir Handanovic handed a start. Onana should return in Portugal. Simone Inzaghi has a decision to make up front, where Edin Dzeko could be preferred to Romelu Lukaku alongside Lautaro Martinez. Milan Skriniar hopes to be fit for the second leg after his back injury.

Predicted line-ups

Porto XI: Costa; Mario, Pepe, Cardoso, Sanusi; Uribe, Grujic; Franco, Pepe, Galeno; Taremi

Inter XI: Onana; De Vrij, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Dzeko, Martinez.
